Young Boys; "Madagascar 3": One of my favorite animated films of the year. Be sure to get the DVD/Blu-ray Gift Pack, which comes with the free Rainbow Wig.

Older Boys: "The "Dark Knight Trilogy" DVD Limited Edition Gift Set": All three Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Batman films, including "Dark Knight Rises". Includes "The Art and Making of the Dark Knight Trilogy" book. Available Dec. 4.

Young Girls: Disney's Diamond Edition "Cinderella": This classic is finally out on Blu-ray with great extras.

Older Girls: "Sparkle": Just out on DVD. Story of a young singing group in the Motown days trying to make it big. Jordan Sparks is very good. This is Whitney Houston's final film and she has some great moments.

Dads: "Bond 50": 22 Bond films together for the first time on Blu-ray. More than 120 hours of special features. Sean Connery to Daniel Craig and everyone in between.

Moms: "Ruby Sparks": Stars Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan. It's about an author who dreams up a character for a new book, and she comes to life. Delightful and insightful.

Grandparents: The 60th Anniversary Special Edition of the greatest musical of all-time: "Singin' in the Rain": Re-mastered in HD, it's spectacular.

The Family "Arthur Christmas": Under-appreciated present from Sony Pictures Animation that captures the spirit and magic of the season better than any film in a long time.

Last Minute Gift: "The Words": It doesn't come-out on DVD until Christmas Eve. Bradley Cooper stars as a struggling writer who suddenly becomes an "over-night success" and must deal with the consequences.

No. 1 Movie Fan on your shopping list: - The 50th Anniversary Edition of "Lawrence of Arabia": Winner of seven Academy Awards, it is on Blu-ray for the first time. It's packed with special features, including a "Making of..." documentary. This is the gift for the movie fan who's been especially nice this year.
